Catty Wampus: The Archive

Welcome to the former home of my blog, The Midnight Diaries of Catty Wampus.

Of the many subjects I wrote about, the most fulfilling posts to write were those that focused on animation. Many of those posts have become part of the permanent archive of Helpful Hints over at the 11 Second Club. I have decided to keep the rest available here for anyone who might find them useful.

I’m also keeping around the popular Here Come The Puppets series that I put together near the end of Catty Wampus’s run.

Thanks again to everyone who followed the blog for so long. I wish you all the best!

- Eric
